Liverpool lost to Atletico Madrid with the score 1:0 in the Champions League
The probability that Liverpool will defend their champion title is now pretty low, due to the lucky, early and successful strike, which was made by Saul Niguez, player of the Athletico Madrid, into his opponent's gates. Athletico Madrid will pass to the last-16 and play with PSG.
Game situation explanation
Liverpool preferred during all the game to play aggressively and had over 70% of the overall percentage of ball possession, and treated their opponents like a joke. Just for the first 3:46 of the First Time, when the Saul Niguez opened the score.
After that Liverpool headed to the strict defense and had to wait about the next 50 minutes of the match to make their first real and serious attempt to strike back. In total, the Liverpool players performed 8 shots, none of which was successful, while Athletico Madrid sportsmans made 7 shots with a total of 2 on target.
Does Liverpool leave a Champions League?
Seems like Liverpool will leave a Champions League this year and have to go back to the place of their residence, Liverpool stadium, named Anfield. It`s a pity that this year they didn`t even pass the last-16.
On the opposite side, Athletico Madrid will not have any reasons to be so happy really soon. The point is that the PSG seems in pretty good shape this year and had not lost for now not a single game for the whole championship.
